    really fatigued. I hate it, but there’s really not too much I can do about the causes.

    my partner offered to get me a Kobo Libra Color when it gets closer to my birthday. it’s not this month or anything, but I’m genuinely excited. I have an old Kindle but frankly I don’t like being tied to Amazon and would prefer to put my own books on the Kobo anyway. plus, the pop of colors, as small of a thing as it is, brings me joy. of course, everything I want to read are books a lot of people cringe at, but no one has to know!

    I’ve almost finished writing letters to my friends, I just have one more left, and that one I get to deliver in person, so I don’t have to send it through the mail. I’m going with the friend to a drag show brunch on easter, and it’s my first thing like that, so I’m pretty excited for that too.

    trying to find my escapes where I can, so I’ve been throwing myself into learning linux server stuff too as much as I can. I’ve started documenting stuff in a Forgejo repo so that my bad memory can’t wreck things.

      The prospect of the kobo reader seems exciting! I just jailbroke a kindle scribe I got from unclaimed baggage for that reason - I didn’t want to be tied specifically into the Amazon ecosystem and jailbreaking helps with that.

      What are you planning to use the Linux server for?

      Wishing the best.

        thank you for the well wishes!

        I have a Scribe (the older one) that I got at a discount, but I’m scared to jailbreak it, especially with people getting theirs bricked because amazon is trying to revert the jailbreaking. I’m gonna save it in case I need it for a Kindle specific book, because that’s unfortunately a thing.

        I actually use the linux server for a lot of things! everything from Jellyfin to I actually have a Calibre Web Automated setup that I’m going to integrate with my Kobo reader for syncing my books. I’m not a backend coder (I dabble in CSS for fun, though) so nothing going on there, but I have a private journal, a Mealie instance for my recipes, etc. it’s been fun learning, even if the blog setup took me 5 hours, hahaha.

        what do you like to read?
